THE SEASONS PAVING.
What the Summer Did for Minneapolis
Streets.
LAST YEARS WORK DOUBLED
II Amount and Cost, While Next Year
r Fl Will Double the
:, ~ Record.


The work of paving the streets and
avenues of Minneapolis was carried on
quite extensively during the year just
past, and now one can go to almost any
part of the city, embracing fifty-three
square miles, and find the streets solid
with cedar OF granite blocks. The
amount of paving done with granite
blocks was much smaller than during
previous years. as they were only laid
on streets where heavy teams are
driven and rough usage was expected.
In previous years all the cedar blocks
that were laid were well tarred, but
this was not done during the past year,
as it has been found that the tar, instead
of preserving the blocks, assists decay
in its work. During the year SIS miles
of paving was done, of which 4.4Smiles
was done in cedar blocks and .6S of
mile in granite blocks. The fastest
paving that was done was on First ave-
nue. south, from Third street to Seventh
street. The total cost of all the paving
done was STAG, 444.55. Following are the
streets and avenues upon which the
paving was done, together with the
number of square yards paved and the
cost:

what it would have been if cedar blocks
had been used. In 1886 there were 3.S5

about double that amount will be laid.

dollars.

Including all the issues which have
ever been printed the number of post
age stamps of separate design which
have been in actual use is less than 4,30O.
The first stamps were issued about the
year 1910, and some of the earliest speci-
mems are exceedingly rare, although
they have never been known to bring
anything like the prices which are af-
fixed to them in the catalogues. Dealers
usually keep very few of these rarer va
rieties on hand, and if there is any call
for them they are very ready to strike a
bargain with the collector after little
higgling. For example there are some
stamps valued at $50 or even more, and
q large number appear in the price list
marked $40 and 81. If person wishes
to find the real value of a stamp he
should take his collection to dealer and
try to sell it. 1t is safe to say he would
not probably get an offer of more than
ten PER cent. .of the catalogue price, and
he would be lucky if he got even that.

has not been calculated, but will, it is
believed, be considerably greater than
ony other Protestant church edifice in
Baltimore. twill be lighted by crown

liarly constructed, and so arranged that
it will be impossible for the room to con-
tain a shadow at any time. Above this
room is flattened dome, the ceiling OF
which is supported from truss rafters so
arranged that no columns appear in the
room. The ceiling will be handsomely
frescoed. The entire building has been
wired so that the gas can be lighted by
electricity. The pulpit will be erected
on the west side of this room, and back
of it will be the organ loft. There is also
in the building and adjacent to the
church an Office for the pastor, where
persons who so desire can call and con-
suit him.-Meu York Tribune.

Curious Things in Mexican Theatres.


A City of Mexico letter to the Pitts
burg Dispatch says: One very funny
custom of the theatres here is the man
ner of keeping their reserved seat din
gram, the seat being marked upon it by
small holes, in which are placed wooden
pegs. When you buy a reserved seat
the ticket seller removes the peg from
the hole you have selected and gives it
to you as your check. The ushers know
the seat it designates by the length or
color of the peg. This seems incredible,
but it is true. AS soon as the act drop
falls every gentleman puts on his hat,
rises from his seat and turns about to
take view of the house through his
lorgnette. They subsequently pass into
the aises to greet their friends, and re-
main there talking until the prompter's
bell warns them that another act is about
to begin. Then they hurry to their
places and remove their hats. The ap-
pearance of a Mexican theatre between
acts-its aisles crowded with groups of
men talking and gesticulating wildly
would cause an unsophisticated American
to think that free fights were in progress
all over the house. Very few ladies
wear hats or bonnets in the street, sub
stituting black lace mantillas instead,
and even these are dispensed with at
theatres-the hair being elaborately
dressed and as the great ma jority Of the
gentlemen are in full evening dress, the
appearance of Mexican audience is very
brilliant.

DR.. Vasey, Government delegate,
has completed an examination OF the
arid districts of Kansas, Nebraska, Colo
RADIO and Nothern New Mexico, with
view to ascertaining the suitable grasses
for grazing purposes. He found nu-
merous grasses, but only the gramma
and buffalo as most suitable. These are
of different genera, but both deno9mi-
mated ''buffalo grass" They constitute
ninety per cent. of the grass product
the gramma being most abundant in
most districts. There are also several
different grasses, known as blue-stem,
blue-joint, and bluegrass, the last quite
different from the bluegrass of the
more Eastern States. In addition DR..
Vasey found great variety of other
grasses, of more or less value. "Some
of these are injurious on account of the
barbed awns which cause sore mouths IN
animals and work into the wool, and
even into the flesh OF sheep." we De-
lieve, says the Cincinnati Commercials
agricultural editor, acientifc research
amoung the mountains and plains of our
States, east of the Mississippi and south
of the Ohio-Tennessee inclusive
would result in discovering many species
of valuable grasses, which could prac-
tically increased with very little caro-
and system. The writer made. n geo.
logical reconnaissance among the Cum
berland Mountains, in 1865, and was
then told by an old merchant of King
ston, Tenn, that there were more than
$50, 900 head of cattle grazing among the
'hills" of the Slate, north of his place
of residence.

ceed Senator Yates In 1877 the Rspub-
licans in the Illinois Legislature had
only two majority, and with the help
Of few Democratic votes David Davis, an
independent, was elected to Senator Logan's
seat. In 1919: however Senator Logan was
reelected to the Senate, and has since then
in his official capacity been very active in
promoting the interests Of the veterans Of
the war. He was one Of the founders Of

had its origin at Decatur. Illinois. One Of
Senator Logan's memorable efforts In the
Senate was his four days speech in opposi-

tail campaign, when he and Mr.. Blaine were
the candidates on the Presidential ticket.
